    Oh that’s relatively harmless. Sodium coming from salt as a metal or thru a precipitation reaction, and citrate is something derived from a fungus.

        You mean like mixing citric acid which is usually obtained from a fungus and sodium bicarbonate? That reaction creates CO2 gas the carbonate part of sodium bicarbonate. That leaves only the sodium after it bonds to the citrate ion which leaves extra H2O behind which is just water. That? But you could do all sorts of other reactions to get the sodium to come off something else.
